Shelton also faces a charge of conspiracy to distribute heroin causing death after police and Miles coordinated the operation to purchase heroin from the two men connected to the phone number.

Miles said that he hopes by capturing the criminals, he helped save one person from Ashley’s fate. The dad explained:

“This ain’t nothing to joke with. Somebody’s dying every day. I lost my best friend, my daughter. And I hurt. I really do. And I just, try to keep going for her.”

The drug dealers could face a prison term of 20 years to life without parole.
